I believe that a long walk and a calm conversation is an incredible

combination if you want to build a bridge to a successful relationship.

The 1866 bridge connects Kentucky to Cincinnati, Ohio over the Ohio River. The bridge is named after its designer John A. Roebling who went on to build the Brooklyn Bridge.

Heavy equipment at a construction site near McKinney, Texas.

The history of Quaglietta begins when, to stop the Saracen incursions in the Sele Valley, it was decided to build 3 fortresses: Valva, Senerchia and Quaglietta, (which however at the time was called castrum Quallectae).

 

The first settlement was therefore a military fortress built on a rocky spur (284 m above sea level) to which a village was added over time.

 

The name has nothing to do with quails as many believe but with the ancient Latin name of the area or Acque electe which translates as pure water and refers to the richness and purity of the waters that flow in the area.

 

Although the town is closely linked to the municipalities of the Sele Valley belonging to the province of Salerno, it is part of the province of Avellino and is a fraction of the municipality of Calabritto.

 

The 1980 earthquake hit this town hard but it was renovated with great attention and today the ancient medieval village retains its ancient splendor and is a tourist attraction.

La storia di Quaglietta inizia quando per frenare le incursioni di saraceni nella Valle del Sele fu decisa la costruzione delle 3 fortezze: Valva, Senerchia e Quaglietta, (che però all'epoca si chiamava castrum Quallectae) .

 

------------------------------

 

Il primo insediamento fu quindi una fortezza militare costruita su uno sperone roccioso (284 m sul livello del mare) a cui nel tempo si aggiunse un borgo.

 

Il nome non ha nulla a che fare con le quaglie come in molti credono ma con l'antico nome latino della zona ovvero Acque electe la cui traduzione è acqua pura e fa riferimento alla ricchezza e purezza delle acque che sgorgano in zona.

 

Pur essendo il paese strettamente legato ai comuni della Valle del Sele appartenenti alla provincia di Salerno fa parte della provincia di Avellino ed è una frazione del comune di Calabritto.

 

Il terremoto del 1980 ha colpito duramente questo paese che però è stato ristrutturato con grande attenzione e oggi l'antico borgo medievale conserva l'antico splendore ed è una attrazione turistica.

Europe, France, PACA, Bouches du Rhône, Marseille, La Joliette, Cathédrale de Marseille (slightly cut from B&T).

 

The Saint-Marie-Majeure (dite La Major) (1893) cathedral is the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Marseille. Its eclectic style is Byzantine-Roman Revival. The architects were Léon Vaudoyer and Henri-Jacques Espérandieu. The edifice is 142 meters (469 ft) long, and the main cupola is 70 meters (231 ft) high. With a capacity of 3,000 seats, it is one of the largest cathedrals in France.

 

Its polychromatic façade has alternating bands of ‘Pierre de Cassis’ and green marble.

 

Espérandieu (a Protestant architect) was also the leading architect of the ND de La Garde (also Byzantine - Roman Revival styled) here.

 

He was called in to replace Léon Vaudroyer, who died in 1872 after a 20-year involvement with the design and build of the cathedral. In the 19th century cathedral building was a very lengthy process, not as long as that of the ones of the middleages though.

 

This is number 28 of the Churches album and 15 of Marseille.

The building of a new Temple

So for anyone who hasn't heard yet MELO 2017 is happening at the end of this month! :D

I'm pretty excited because I wasn't able to enter any of the previous Middle Earth Lego Olympics. So I decided I would do a bit of practice and make a really small little build. Might make some more at some point before the contest.

 

Part of the reason I made this was to try getting better at building, so if any of you want I'm looking for comments about what I could improve and what I did well. (Not just "Nice build" comments).

 

I'm also curious to know who else is entering MELO this year? :)

I just like this house set against a blue sky. It's a new build in Burns beach area. Overlooking the sea. Perth, Western Australia

Here is the complete collab I made with John during my last visit. He has an immersive edit in his stream.

As the title indicates, it was inspired by the boardgame Everdell.

Reindeer and caribou are the same species, but there are at least six sub-species due to the variations in size, build, and geographic location.

This is a trend apparently and I figured why not?

 

But yeesh, I gotta build more! This is more or less a collection of everything I've built for the past year, specifically the things I think are worth showing again. Largely, this is my Forms of Gotham collection, which has rather put me off building brick figures for a while honestly...all that said, the experience of building them and seeing people's reactions towards them at Brickworld Chicago were worth all the tens of hours I spend on them.

 

And All the Powers of Hell was another highlight, although to be honest it did fall to the back of my mind--despite winning the Vignette award I've been hunting for years. Still, it has a place in my heart and as such is still constructed and boxed away for BW '17. Aside from the figures Batman, Catwoman, and Penguin, its the only thing that remains of my '16 Convention tour builds.

 

My Alien and Predators builds are something I'm proud of, even though they totally point out how I can change focus on a dime whenever anyone mentions Predators or posts a Xenomorph. To wit, I've been secretly hive building for the past half year; building another queen, gathering eggs, makin' drones, hunting down those elusive black minifigure binoculars, all for the inevitable time when I'll need them. At the moment I'm planning on building Alien something for BW '17, although that might just be the amazing Covenant trailer speaking! So no promises yet!

 

Before I get into the future, I first want to note the wonderful experiences I had this year with my friends at Eurobricks, both online and especially in person, as we constructed our group collab for Brickworld, Ready Set Escargot!. We put tons of hours into a truly collaborative effort and finally getting the win was icing on the cake. As we look forward to next year's build, I hope that we can continue that awesome tradition! Incidentally, I don't have any pictures of my Snail, but I made the sand blue viking one, if anyone is wondering.

 

---

Onto the future, one of the reasons I've not appeared to be building much (specifically in the later half) of 2016, is because I'm building for 2017! Right now I'm finishing some colorful magazine builds, but I've also locked down my convention layout concept for next year, one that'll use a lot of colors I normally wouldn't touch with a ten foot poll-- yellow, red, and orange. Brick figures will be minimal, at least until 2018, and I'm also planning two separate series of builds of the superhero variety. Either way, I can't wait to get started!

 

And finally, thank you to everyone for your support!

View of Cebu city from the SM Seaside mall. I didn't notice all the cranes on top of the buildings until I started processing the photo.

It's finished. I seem to have forgotten to order the blue 6x6 dish that will go on those studs on the top, but otherwise it's all done bar the stickers. Sorry these photos are crap, but I don't know when I will get to take decent ones.

We are honoring our friend Hard Rust this year with another Morally Ambiguous Carnival! We have a special build for the parties, so come on down next weekend for some great tunes and debauchery! Costumes highly encouraged!

For my first convention, it was a blast. As for the build, I procrastinated a bunch on the middle building, but overall the diorama pleases me very much.

It was super rad meeting everyone who is tagged below, and we are planning on doing something next year (hint - hint). I helped Elijah put grass on his build for about an hour :D

I got my hands on some nice items by trading and such, and an abundance of memes were passed around. Sprue, mongolian, the free build section, and others in which we do not utter here.

 

I hope to see some more of you guys next year!!!!!!!!

 

My MOC card got cut off.

Pop tart and her kitties thinking about how they should paint their monsters - hmmmm a little poodle is sneaking a peek too!

Babe and I took the kids to Build-A-Bear workshop this weekend to create some fuzzy friends for momo and muse! They had so much fun picking out the clothes and watching their friend come to life! Of course babe had to pick the BIGGEST one in the entire store for our baby boy!😂 Momo wanted something smaller so she could say it was a baby! They couldn’t even wait till we got to the car before they started opening them! We need to go back because now I want one for myself😂

Definitely a challenging project, this build let me use a few old and create techniques. I have gained a love for dark red, and fantasy could be a more often occurrence now. I stepped way out of my comfort zone of boring bley military stuff, and couldn't be happier.

 

If you're added, it's because your builds inspired me.

 

Ben: added because I love your free form bases.

Andreas: inspired a lot of the textures used

Miles: you gave fantasy criticism early on in this project, also, you inspired the building itself.
